Ingredients:

For the cupcakes

3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 tsp baking powder

1 and 1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

3/4 sup warm water

1 8 oz container unflavored greek yogurt

1/2 cup milk

2 Tbsp canola oil

1 tsp pure vanilla extract


icing:

12 oz of whipped cream cheese

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepermint-flavored oil

5 crushed candy canes


Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. Whisk in eggs, water, milk, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth and combined, about 3 minutes.

4. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each about halfway. Bake cupcakes, rotating tins half way through, until a cake tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
